She's In Her 40's Now
She's spent a blazing summer in her boudoir
Playing Wagner records on the gramophone
Still feeling like eternity was on her side
But now the days are getting shorter; autumn
Is approaching and she feels so gloomy and so all alone
She tried to make it on her own
Singing her life into a thing
Of beauty and eternal relevance
A pyramid, a palace, a cathedral
In the middle of enchanted gardens
And Arcadian loveliness - eternal
Beauty and eternal relevance, a perfect
Dream, and everything made sense
But now her dream of magic seems to
Have been turned to mud
And washed away by acid rain
She's in her 40's now
She doesn't know why it happened and how
She feels so sad and all alone
She tried to make it on her own
But now togetherness seems all
That matters and her life has been
So terribly in vain
She doesn't know why it happened and how
She's in her 40s now
She's in her 40s now
Playing Wagner records on the gramophone
Still feeling like eternity was on her side
But now the days are getting shorter; autumn
Is approaching and she feels so gloomy and so all alone
She tried to make it on her own
Singing her life into a thing
Of beauty and eternal relevance
A pyramid, a palace, a cathedral
In the middle of enchanted gardens
And Arcadian loveliness - eternal
Beauty and eternal relevance, a perfect
Dream, and everything made sense
But now her dream of magic seems to
Have been turned to mud
And washed away by acid rain
She's in her 40's now
She doesn't know why it happened and how
She feels so sad and all alone
She tried to make it on her own
But now togetherness seems all
That matters and her life has been
So terribly in vain
She doesn't know why it happened and how
She's in her 40s now
She's in her 40s now
